Atomic number
Atomic number, being a characteristic property (property that is diff. for each element), it identifies the element, For instance, Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, and it's the only one that has that atomic number, same with any other element, except that no other element has an atomic # of 8. No two elements can share an atomic number.
the number of neutrons.
to make one element a different element, all you need to do is have a different number of protons

another word is identity property. The sum of zero and any number is the number.
Mass is a property of matter, not an element in and of itself. It does not have an atomic number.
